Excellent, from start to finish, we were given ample information on arrival and during our stay. The accommodation was perfect, had all the facilities required and was spotless. Will be going here again.

“Friendly staff and a great location ...”

Friendly staff and a great location for seeing/exploring both the waterfalls and Brecon Beacons. Easy to find and exactly what we were looking for in a weekend break.

“Sadly we were very unlucky with the ...”

Sadly we were very unlucky with the weather and the six days of constant rain did sort of spoil what would other wise have been a very lovely break. The surroundings are exquisitely beautiful and I was really sorry not to have experienced them in better conditions.
The site itself is lovely and very well equipped although I do think it could do with a cosy bar or such like as we found neither of the nearest pubs to be that enticing indeed one was very unwelcoming.
The cottage itself was cosy and romantic especially the sauna and whirlpool bath. On that note we had trouble with the hot water supply on the Sunday evening that was quickly and willingly rectified by the site manager. Unfortunately on the following day we lost the hot water supply again followed by the electric supply ! II normally would have laughed at our luck but as it was my birthday and I had been looking forward to a glass of bubbly in the whirlpool bath, followed by a sauna and the first meal cooked by hubby in years I was not amused! But I have to say once again the lovely site manager came speedily to the rescue and on not being able to sort offered us to move to next door, which we readily accepted.
I have to say transporting vital supplies in the heavy brain ie Vino, chocolates and ice cream at 9 at night was not the way I had envisaged my birthday but I have no doubt it will be remembered and was made bearable by the swift response we received to pour plight-so many thanks I think -to Alan -for his assistance he saved another marital row!
thanks again hopefully will be back with some waterproof gear !

“A fantastic place. It was peaceful ...”

A fantastic place. It was peaceful and in a beautiful setting which is in a great location for nearby attractions. The National Showcaves next door are a must. The swimming pool and the in room sauna were both added luxuries. Would recommend and definitely visit again.

About the location

PEN-Y-CAE

Brecon 20 miles; Swansea 20 miles.

The sleepy little hamlet of Pen-y-Cae lies on the River Tawe amongst the beautiful scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park. With a local country inn serving award-winning food, this is an excellent, away-from-it-all base for your Welsh getaway. Surrounded by sweeping countryside strewn with rounded peaks, Pen-y-Cae is a great place for discovering the great outdoors with an adventure centre nearby where you can enjoy a wide range of activities such as rock climbing and watersports. Just outside the village are the celebrated National Showcaves for Wales. Discovered in 1912, there are three stunning caves to wander through as well as many other exciting on-site attractions to enjoy including a Shire horse farm, an Iron Age village, a range of play areas and over 200 life-size dinosaurs! For breathtaking scenery, simply take a short drive and be inspired by heather-topped mountains, rolling countryside, deep lakes and vast valleys of this vibrant region, with a myriad of walking routes and excellent off-road mountain biking tracks to enjoy. Head to the bright city lights of Cardiff or Swansea, both easily found for a day trip, or to the coast of the picturesque Gower Peninsula with its spectacular surf and immaculate beaches. With a wealth of stunning sights and attractions nearby, this is a superb destination for a break to remember.
